TlLE-MACHINE.

E'zPEC'IFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,653, dated April 5, 1887.

Application filed July 2, 1886. Serial No. 206,985.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, DANIEL BnosE and JOHN BAUMGARTNER, citizens of the United States of America, residing at New Vashington, in the county. of Crawford, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Tile- Machine, of which the following is 'a specification.

Our invention has relation to improvements in tile-machines, and the object is to provide a tile-table of a cheap and stable construction to receive the formed tile, and from which the tile can be removed in the most convenient manner. The invention is fully set forth in the description herein, and what is claimed as novel is specifically pointed out in the claims, as required by the statute.

In the accompanying drawings, forming` al part ofthis specification, the machine is clearly illnstrated, and, reference being had thereto, Fignre 1 is a perspective view of the machine. Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, showing the tiletrough tilted and the platen on the end frame. Fig. 3 is a view of the latch. Fig. i is a view of the stationary trongh renioved. Fig. 5 is a bottom view of the tilting,` frame. Fig. G is a plan view of the frame, and Fig. 'T a bottom view of the tilting trough.

The letter A designates the su pporting-frame, eonstructed of such dimensions as may snit it to the machine to, which it is to be connected or applied, and of such suhstantialness as to meet the requirements of its uses. It consists of a frame comprised of the side pieces a, forined with inner side flanges, a', to serve as seats for the tilting frame, hereinafter described, the side pieces being supported on legs a, mounted on axles ai, carrying the Wheels (L4. A cross piece, (L5, connects the sides of the frame together at the front end, the top face of which cross-piece is set even with the top faces of the flanges on the sides, and at the front end the sides are connected by a crosspiece, af', the upper face of which is set even with the upper face of the side pieces. On the (No model.)

frame, and is secured in place by a bolt, b,

which is screw-threaded and provided with a nut, and is projected through the lower part of the form and the cross-piece of the frame. These troughs 'are made detachable, because differentsized tiles reqnire corrcsponding troughs to receive them.

The letter O designates the tilting frame, comprised of the side pieces c, secured together by cross-pieces,c' ci, and having the central crosspiece 03, with a hole in the middle to receive the fastening-bolt of the trough. At the end of this frame is secured an upright frame, of, carrying rollers 05, the purposes and uses of which are well known in the trade. The side pieces of the tilting frame fit within the sides of the table-frame and on the fianges thereof, substantially as shown. A stop or hinge bar, c, is set across under the frame, to engage with the hooks on the cross-piece of the table, and tilts about that connection; and, to prevent the tilting frame from contacting with or from coming too close to the stationset on the lianges of the table, which servc.

also to keep the stationary trough in an ereet position, and, as stated, to prevent the tilting frame from contacting with the trough, the space between the adjacent ends of the. troughs being the line of severance of the tile from the form.

To the tilting frame is firmly secured the trough O', the upper face of which is formed concave to receive the tile, substantially as shown in the drawings. The lining or facing of the trough proj ects beyondv the body at each end, forming projecting iianges, which con.- struction gives room for the droppings of clay when the form is severed, and also givesafree stroke for the cutters. On the bottom of this trough are secured cross-cleats cs, which set IOO cross-piece of the tilting frame, and a nut applied to the projeeting end secures the trough' in its fixed position.

It will be perceived from the foregoing that, while the trough is removable from its seat on the tilting frame, it is fixed in position thereon When seeured as stated. The hinges or bar on which the frame tilts is arranged somewhat past the center or middle, in order that when the fastening which holds it in horizontally is released it tilts by gravity.

The letter D designates the latch-bar, which is pivoted to one side of the table-frame, With its free end passed through a staple 4fixed in the other side of the frame, and has a limited movement in a horizontal plane within the staple to and from engagement with the catch 1 on the tilting frame. A cord or chain, d, secured to the free end of the latch-bar, is passed through carriers on the frame in opposite directions, having a Weight attaohed to one end to pull the lateh-bar back, and to the4 other end is attaehed a foot-treadle, which serves to release the fastening. A platen or carry-board, E, is set against the end frame on the tilting frame, whereby the tile may be lifted from the frame and carried away.

A Cutting-frame, F, is hinged to the frame, the uses and construction of whieh are well known and require no special description.

The operation is as follows: The tile, being delivered from the dies, passes over the stationary form at the end of the table, and thence progresses over the trough of the tilting frame, when the cutting-Wires may be operated at the proper time, and when the tile is pushed against the platen the latch is released, the frame tilts, and the tile can be carried away.

What we elaim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, With the tile-table provided With bearings a7 on its front cross-piece, of the detaehable tile-trough B, the tilting frame O, journaled in said bearings to tilt upright by gravity, and having the tile'trough O' mounted thereon, and a latch to lock the tilting frame in a horizontal position, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the frame A, provided with bearings al on its front cross-piece, of the tile-trough B, the tilting frame O, having mounted thereon the detachable tile-trough C', and journaled in said bearings to tilt upright by gravity, and the looking means D, eonsisting of a latch-bar arranged across the frame and having one end pivoted to the side of the frame, with the free end to slide in a keeper, and a connected trea'dle and weight to move the latch-bar in and out of engagement with the catch on the tilting frame, substantially as deseribed.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands iu the presence of two attesting witnesses.
